2011 trip to Corsica

Our big trip in the Spring of 2011 was spending two weeks on the amazing and beautiful island of Corsica, where most of the cheese is made from sheep milk, along with some goat too (no cows there). We were just blown away by the dedication to local products in every shop and store we visited, even supermarkets, which all had completely dedicated sections for Corsican cheeses.

Shepherdista sheep milk cheese from Bleating Heart

Created in 2011, this cheese is called "Shepherdista" which is a play on the words 'shepherd' and 'fashionista' as inspired by my commitment to infuse my own style and flair into my new-found agricultural pursuits....silver farm boots? Damn right. A pink cheese room apron? Naturally. Wearing lipgloss when hauling milk cans? Of course.

I was fortunate to begin my cheesemaking by buying milk from my friend and fellow cheesemaker Marcia Barinaga, who owns the Barinaga Ranch sheep dairy in Marshall, CA. Sheep milk is very hard to come by!
